Why You Run the Send Pending LDAP Requests Process

Run the Send Pending LDAP Requests process daily to send future-dated and bulk requests to your LDAP directory server. Schedule the process in the Scheduled Processes work area.

The Send Pending LDAP Requests process sends these items to the LDAP directory:

• Requests to create, suspend, and reactivate user accounts.

  • When you create a person record for a worker, a user-account request is generated automatically.

  • When a person has no roles and no current work relationships, a request to suspend the user account is generated automatically.

  • A request to reactivate a suspended user account is generated automatically if you rehire a terminated worker.

  The process sends these requests to the LDAP directory unless the automatic creation and management of user accounts are disabled for the enterprise.

• Work emails.

  If you include work emails when you create person records, the process sends those emails to the LDAP directory.

• Role provisioning and deprovisioning requests.

  The process sends these requests to the LDAP directory unless automatic role provisioning is disabled for the enterprise.

• Changes to person attributes for individual users.

  The process sends this information to the LDAP directory unless the automatic management of user accounts is disabled for the enterprise.

Note: All of these items are sent to the LDAP directory automatically unless they're either future-dated or generated by bulk data upload. You run the Send Pending LDAP Requests process to send future-dated and bulk requests to the LDAP directory.

Only one instance of the Send Pending LDAP Requests process can run at a time.
